Seasonal FIRE Employment – 2019

The BLM manages more land-245 million surface acres-than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western States, including Alaska. The BLM, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Note: Many announcements have early cut-off dates in January 2019 - applicants must successfully complete their application on or before the cut-off date to receive early consideration. Please refer to each announcement for specific information on cut-off dates. Thereafter, applications may be considered as needed during the remaining open period of the announcement.
